[dev] simple ideas
Hi, I've just begun using the spreadsheet program in Open Office, and I've found a few little things I wish it could do. I might even be able to write some of it in C++. These don't necessarily have to be in everyone's version of the software, I just wish it were available to me. But these are simple: Icon for number format: time: There are icon sets at the tops of the screen, some of which apply number formats to your cells: one for currency (you can set this to your local default, it seems), one for percent, one for dates, etc. I wanted one for time, so found it in the customize icon sets menu, but it had no icon associated with it. So I chose modify change icon... and searched around to find a little clock, and it's perfect. Maybe you should make the clock a default instead of the words number format: time. Choose default date and time formats: The above-mentioned icons for date and time formats automatically change numbers into dates or times, which is great, but it always does it in the same format: 08/29/09 or 12:34:56 PM (respectively). I want to be able to choose the default formats, which are not those ones. Option to remove or hide extraneous options: What prompts this for me specifically was that I was scrolling through the available date formats to find my favorite, and I had to scroll past all of these Jewish date formats to discover that my favorite was not on your list. I was able to create my own format to use, which is great, but it now appears at the very bottom of the list, so every time I want to choose it, I have to scroll past all those Jewish dates again. Now, I have no problem with Jewish dates (or any other calendars, for that matter), but I'm almost certainly never going to use them, so I wish I could just remove them from the list, or hide them somewhere out of the way. Or re-arrange the list to my liking, so I don't have to keep scrolling past them. Change date codes: In writing my own date code, I was happily impressed with the options available to me, and I went to your help file to see what all of my choices were. However, I encountered an interesting decision by whomever wrote the codes for what would appear when you made dates. Specifically: D -- Day as 2 DD -- Day as 02 NN or DDD -- Day as Sun-Sat NNN or -- Day as Sunday to Saturday -- Day followed by comma, as in Sunday, Now, I like that typing either 'N's or 'D's will get you the day of the week, but who decided that 3 D's is the same as 2 N's? Sometimes it's very important to know the day of the week, and not just the calendar date, so I'm happy we have the option of showing the day of the week within the date. However, in the spirit of minimizing space, it's good to be able to abbreviate, showing Sat instead of Saturday, for instance. But this can be further abbreviated, as I'm sure you've seen on office calendars and schedules and such: M - Monday T - Tuesday W - Wednesday R or H - Thursday F - Friday Obviously, this is not an ideal system, since there are several days containing an R, and this system doesn't do much for the non-work days of Saturday and Sunday. Nevertheless, this is a system in use by some people, so I believe it should be represented by typing one N. Another alternative to this one-letter abbreviation system is a two-letter system which is far more understandable: Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, Su. This is what I like to use, because it clearly shows the day of the week while using the smallest space possible. So I would like 2 N's to show this format, rather than 2 N's giving you a 3-letter day of the week. It seems far more sensible that one N give you a one-letter day-name, 2 N's give you a two-letter name, 3 N's give you a three-letter name, and 4 N's give you a long name. Again, I could easily write some of this into C++, but I mostly wish I could just make it work this way on my computer so I don't have to bother all of the other millions of users if they don't want these changes. So please let me know how I can help, or how you can help me. Oh, and also let me know where the best repository is for these types of requests: I searched around on your web-site and this was the best thing I came up with.

[dev] [long] Integrate an extension in the code at buildtime : what do with bitmaps ?
Hi,
Happy New Year to all of you, and the best for 2011 ! :-)
I'm currently working on integrate a nice and existing C++ extension,
but directly in the code, means at buildtime. To summarize, if I
integrate the lib (written in C++) in the scp2 .. and so on system,
there is no problem at all, the packaging is ok and it works fine in
the install set.
In fact, everything works fine, but the icons are not seen, because
simply not found :-/
To explain more, the first point is, after tracing a bit, that the
NormalFileName property is used to retrieve the right bitmap
(please correct me if I'm wrong). As example, looking at the original
name, we have (in the .xcu) :
node oor:name=Background
prop oor:name=NormalFileName
valuebitmaps/Background.png/value
/prop
And in the extension, it appears that the relative path is used,
means the library is in :
extension/random_name/libThing.${DLL_EXTENSION}
... while the .png are in :
extension/random_name/bitmaps/*.png
This happens to work ok, of course. Am I correct to suppose that the
relative path is used, or did I miss something ?
My tries now : using the other existing .xcu as example and trying to
respect the schema ( .xcs file), I did the what follows:
node oor:name=Background
prop oor:name=NormalFileName
value$(insturl)/share/config/bitmaps/Background.png/value
/prop
... and so on
It does not work, but the idea is
1) put the library using those icons in $(insturl)/program (like all
the other libs in fact ...)
2) use the path above to retrieve the icons.
I must say I tested absolute and relative paths, without success.
For example :
valuexlink:href=$(insturl)/share/config/bitmaps/Background.png/
value
or :
valuexlink:href=../share/config/bitmaps/Background.png/value
Last, the documentation I have read is :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/
Extensions/Checklist_for_Writing_Extensions
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/
Extensions/Example
+ a lot of .xcs / .xcu shipped in the OOO3.2.1 code base
Feel free to ask me if I forgot some information, and thanks in
advance for any help :-)

Images are often provided in a zip container but also as single image files, In this case as single image files (was my need). The remaining problem would be how to address such an image from a config file. $(insturl) is expanded some where in the framework. It was the case + a bad path (yes, a typo ) I solved the problem using Bootstrap. More precisely : #if defined( OOo4Kids ) || defined( OOoLight ) OUString aConfigPath( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM ($OOO_BASE_DIR/share/config/) ); ::rtl::Bootstrap::expandMacros( aConfigPath ); And the expandMacros did it : the feature works now :-) It seems that we are missing a macro that can be used here and that can be expanded with the macro expander. Or maybe a special UCP like the one for extensions (using the the extension identifier). But this UCP don't work in this case.

Re: [dev] Contribution Ideas
Hello, FYI, there is the OpenOffice.org Education Project, welcoming students, and proposing applications (but not extensions, see Ariel answer in this case). The idea is to work with students and profs from a given school, and solve a problem discovering OpenOffice.org source code. Our communication is based on IRC and mailing lists + weekly IRC meetings and project reviews. If you are interested, please have a look at: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project/Effort One of our projects is OOo4Kids, and we have a lot of Fun with that : http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/index.php/WelcomeStudents And if you want to discuss directly online with us, there is #education.openoffice.org channel, on irc.freenode.net server. Regards, Eric Bachard Le 19 oct. 10 à 02:52, Patrick W. McDonald a écrit : Hey, My name is Patrick McDonald, I'm a student at Longwood University, and for my software engineering class the professor has assigned us a project that requires us to make a contribution to an open source project of our choice. I decided to work on OpenOffice, since I'm fairly familiar with the software. He suggested I do something simple, such as adding functionality to the Writer's formula bar or something along those lines. With that in mind, I'd like to ask if there's any particular formulas you would like to see supported by the formula bar, or barring that if there are any other ideas that you have that would be at around the same level of difficulty to implement. Thanks for any responses, and I look forward to helping improve OpenOffice. -Patrick - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org -- qɔᴉɹə Education Project: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project Projet OOo4Kids : http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/index.php/Main_Page L'association EducOOo : http://www.educoo.org Blog : http://eric.bachard.org/news

Great :) OpenOffice.org is mostly written in C++ , so it should be ok :) Is there any way that we could contribute to maybe an open office extension? Well, the OOo wiki has a lot of entries about that : See http://wiki.services.openoffice.org a lot of links are waiting your read :) We have less than 3 months together to help out in any way that we can. If you are interested, instead of writing an extension, the OpenOffice.org Education Project does student mentoring, in collaboration with schools. So you could work on little issues, or features improvement with the Education Project ? See: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ Education_Project/Effort . There are plenty of proposals, you can wor on, one or several students, mentored by us. And the EducOOo non profit assocation can participate to the application validation with your school / University ( like we already do with Epitech Paris, Ecole Centrale Nantes .. and so on) Just in case you are interested, of course. How can we get started with the current methods used to generate open source software? Could we be assigned someone to consult with, about questions and issues?

Specifying random configure flags is /asking for problems/, Those flags are not random : everything disabled helps to build faster. In our situation, only OOo is not buildable, while Go-OO, OOo4Kids are, without one glitch, and we are searching why. not avoiding them. Unless you know what the flags do, don't specify them. This is the case, I built OOo on my machine using similar flags, and the build was successfull (but was on Mac OS X10.4, not Linux, Ubuntu -if I remember corretly -). So, I provided Michal the same flags, and the point was to build OOo, a minimalistic way. Of course, the mozilla flags are not correct, and that's a good catch. Both --disable-mozilla and --disabl-build- mozilla as just an error, but frankly, I really doubt those flags could cause the issue who occurs in vcl (since the time I build OOo, I don't remember such issue). configure with as few options as possible is the way to go. --disable-binfilter, --disable-odk being the exception as they completely disable *independent* parts and thus can accellerate the build without side-effects. Our need is to verify / trace and debug in starmath and sw. IMHO, could be Michal striked a strange issue. In this case, I'd better vote for something wrong with system fontconfig , cairo or something around that. here I just added references to the implementation of the method as they were in the header So you patched your code, apparently in an area that is sensitive to fontconfig (enabled/disabled), IMHO no : the patch is about starmath, sfx2, and sw (mostly), nothing directly concerning vcl. - so why not just try with fontconfig enabled?

Re: [dev] Was : problem building comphelper on MIPS
Hi Felix, Sorry for the long delay, but I'm back to the issue, because I need to fix it. Please ignore what I wrote if you already fixed the issue, and if so, please tell me how (I di't fix it correctly yet). Zhang Xiaofei a écrit : For people who don't know, I'm colleague of the author of the original message, we build on Fuloong Minis, which has same processors as Gdium machines has. I observed the build output and found the switch still in use. The -fpic switch may have been moved to soleenv/inc/unxlng.mk in the fix of i89237 Unify the linux .mk files. If that's the case I guess there's other issues causing the breakage. Maybe, maybe not. About optimisation, what I have remarked, that the default value is CDEFAULTOPT*=-O2 in solenv/inc/unxlngx.mk And in solenv/inc/unxlngmips.mk, there is : CDEFAULTOPT=-Os Like Caolan explained. Now, reading gcc documentation, I found that the last value passed wins. So we can consider the CDEFAULTOPT*=-O2 wins, because -Os is written before the include unxlng.mk (if I'm not wrong) in unxlngmips.mk. This could explain the new behavior too. Till now we have tested DEV300_m58 and DEV300_m60, the breakage took place in the latter but not the former one. Confirmed. By the way we tried the following workaround: adding -mips2 (or -mips3) for gcc globally, the build could continue but office will crash with SIGBUS, Yes, I confirm the build work for me in comphelper too using -mips3, but use -mips3 is imho not the right option, because (yet reading the documentation) mips3 is for 64 bits, and we do 32 bits chroot with linux32. In fact, to save time, I started the build using mips3 and I started reading the documentation in meantime ( bad move ;-) , but once I'll have verified the build is ok, I'll restart one using -march=mips32 Did you try that one ? (I didn't saw it in the build, but maybe I was blind). Or maybe thre is a better one ? this can be solved by using configure --with-alloc=system as another workaround. Yes, but the root is imho elsewhere, and it really worth to read the full gcc documentation, because mips(el there) seems to have a *lot* of possiblities (really nice proc imho). As conclusion, for me, some gcc option has been modified, and since there is an optimisation issue, or maybe we simply hit a missing parameter ( like -march=aValue ) To be continued Thanks, Eric -- Education Project: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project Projet OOo4Kids : http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/index.php/Main_Page L'association EducOOo : http://www.educoo.org Blog : http://eric.bachard.free.fr/news - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

Ok. I observed the build output and found the switch still in use. The - fpic switch may have been moved to soleenv/inc/unxlng.mk in the fix of i89237 Unify the linux .mk files. If that's the case I guess there's other issues causing the breakage. Yes you are right. In fact, after some investigations, solenv was heavily modified, and we'll have to track everything. Till now we have tested DEV300_m58 and DEV300_m60, the breakage took place in the latter but not the former one. m59 has dv14 (serious candidate for something interesting), and some other tracks. I'll continue to search what is causing the breakage. Looks like a default environment variable (mips port is maybe not complete) or something not mips adapted (to be hones, I have no clear idea in fact). By the way we tried the following workaround: adding -mips2 (or - mips3) for gcc globally, the build could continue but office will crash with SIGBUS, this can be solved by using configure --with-alloc=system as another workaround. This has to be investigated. Whet change(s) introduce -mips2 / - mips3 flags btw ? Is there a link where all this is described ? Thanks in advance :-) From my side, I'll continue to analyze the differences in solenv. Let's cross the fingers :) Eric -- qɔᴉɹə

And it was *definitely* the same compiler and tool chain used in
both cases right ? And the error in question is ...
Exactly : both tree on the same machine : rebuild comphelper with
DEV300_m57, and DEV300_m58 is ok.
Starting m60 - you have the issue below
comphelper/source/container/enumerablemap.cxx
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:714: Error: opcode not supported on this
processor: mips1
(mips1) `ll $3,8($4)'
This massively looks like a toolchain issue to me
To me too
and not an OOo one. e.g. binutils/gcc target mismatch or some foo
like that.
Well, this must be investigated anyway. I'd better vote for one
option like all linux by default or something like that. But again,
I can be wrong : I work on that just a little time per day, in my
free time.
I imagine that we're talking about the normal mips o32 abi
right ?, the one that gcc defaults to out of the box for mips-linux-.
Yes, we are. I do the chroot (linux32) like you suggested, and it was
working fine. Until one change I ignore.
There shouldn't be anything really different about mips during the
build until bridges and the bridge test in testtools. e.g. there is
nothing in comphelper that has any mips specific stuff in there.
The issue occurs in compheelper, but we agree the root is not in
comphelper. A t least, this is obvious for me.
Thanks for your time :)

[dev] Was : problem building comphelper on MIPS
Hi, Sorry, I missed the original message, but I'll try to answer to the original message, who is : http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg? listName=devmsgNo=26295 First, I got the same issue, and I'm working on it too : OpenOffice.org can no longer be built on it, and the breakage occured between DEV300_m57 and OOO320_m12, but was very probably introduced in m58 or m59. Some details about the background now : Gdium foundation donated me a machine running a loongson processor. Since this machine is not powerfull, I prefered to port OOo4Kids on it, instead of OpenOffice.org. (but everything is similar in the build process, just more simple for OOo4Kids than OpenOffice.org). What I know is the (obsolete) OOo4Kids based on DEV300_m57 ( before important changes for 3.2.0 ) builds, and works perfectly. Since OOo4Kids has been rebased with DEV300_m12, and the build is broken (only on Mips, curiously). The first thing I found was a missing -fpic flag in the solenv/inc/ unxlngmips.mk, but I fear little other issues like that could cause the breakage. So, I can imagine the issue could be caused by some performance changes (good candidate, integration started around mDEV300_m58), probably applied by default to all Linux or something like that (just a wild guess). Investigating. Of course, anybody is welcome to help us, and any information will help too :-) Thanks in advance, Eric Bachard -- qɔᴉɹə

After more investigation (OpenGrok is great btw ! ), I was plain
wrong and a better place was in vcl/source/window/cursor.cxx
The code below solved the cursor in the text editor, but in fact, the
cursors I'd like to modify are the system one. e.g. the classical
arrow, or the pen with Impress .. and so on.
So my new question is : Is the only way to use bigger cursors (all
platforms), provide new bigger .png .. or ?

That's enough for me. Now, if we (the association) did not receive anything (I mean donations) in return, it simply means that what we do is wrong, or not what the people expect, and maybe it's time to stop. For the one who have the memory, it was exactly the same last year ( OOoCon 2008, Beijin), with the difference I didn't apply. Strange, nobody considered I had some important role to play (while I was doing exactly the same). Yet another reason to not consider this annulation as something important. Just sad, nothing more.

Yes, and you can condense that to

${$BRAND_BASE_DIR/program/ SAL_CONFIGFILE(bootstrap)
:OOo4KidsIntegrationUserFile}));
Bootstrap::expandMacros(aUserConfigFile);
Ok, I'll give it a try asap (got a Linux PowerPC at hand). I'll
confirm it's ok too.
(my previous attempt at writing that down had a number of typos)
Well, I do myself lot of typos, and didn't care too much : what
helped me was not in the code itself, but in the explanation ;)

[dev] boostrap issue with Bootstrap::getFrom()
Hi,
To customize the UI on powerless machines (like XO), I adapted a
change I did on Mac OS X some years ago. The idea is to provide
configuration files, to allow the customization (we'll probably have
one dedicated for the XO). If the user config file is not found,
we'll use one in presets ( $OOO_BASE_DIR/presets ).
But I got a problem with Bootstrap::getFrom() and I wonder what
exactly happens ... Here is what I do :
1) in bootstraprc, I added the entries (Linux and OOo4Kids only)
taken from scp2 patch :
+Key = OOo4KidsIntegrationUserFile;
+Value = $UserInstallation/user/ooo4kidsrc.txt;
+Key = OOo4KidsIntegrationDefaultFile;
+Value = ${OOO_BASE_DIR}/presets/ooo4kidsrc.txt;
- verified ok, the boostraprc file does contain both after the
installation. Means if the first entry is wrong, the fallback is ok
(and tested ok)
2) And in vcl/unx/gdi/ooo4kidsint.cxx I do :
rtl::OUString aUserConfigFile;
rtl::OUString aDefaultConfigFile;
rtl::OUString aTryFiles[2];
// read the content of bootstraprc is necessary to find the path
to the user configuration file ~/.ooo4kids/0.6/user/OOo4kidsrc.txt
rtl::Bootstrap aBootstrap( rtl::OUString
( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM(bootstraprc) ) );
// retrieve the config files
if( aBootstrap.getFrom( rtl::OUString
( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM(OOo4KidsIntegrationUserFile) ),
aUserConfigFile ) )
osl::FileBase::getSystemPathFromFileURL(aUserConfigFile, aTryFiles[0]);
// Use that means OOo4Kidsrc.txt is not found in user install
dir, and we fallback to the second OOo4Kidsrc.txt (with default values)
if( aBootstrap.getFrom( rtl::OUString
( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM(OOo4KidsIntegrationDefaultFile) ),
aDefaultConfigFile ) )
osl::FileBase::getSystemPathFromFileURL(aDefaultConfigFile,
aTryFiles[1]);
No problem at build nor at install times : the config files are
copied at the right place, and the install dir is ok (else the binary
does not launch)
But it does not work:
- tracing the lines say that the string do not appear, means
something is wrong perhaps with Bootstrap_Impl somewhere ...
- or can this be some STRINGPARAM / USTRINGPARAM mismatch who caused
the issue ? (boostrap.cxx uses both USTRINGPARAM and STRINGPARAM,
maibe some issue with that)
- worse: adding symbols in sal told me everything is pushed ok early
at launch, but tracing in vcl, the strings are empty ? hmmm ... :-/
More odd, I found a way to make it (artificialy) work : using
Midnight Commander, that's ok, and everything is found, and works as
expected, and I can customize what I want.
.. that's all for now in my investigations.
Last but not least: maybe there is a better way to implement such
feature ? Thanks in advance for any help :-)

Re: [dev] boostrap issue with Bootstrap::getFrom()
Hi Stephan,
Le 30 sept. 09 à 14:54, Stephan Bergmann a écrit :
I guess rtl::Bootstrap needs an absolute file URL for the bootstrap
ini-file (if your Midnight Commander has OOo's brand program dir as
current working dir, that might explain why this relative URL
magically happens to work then).
Yes, you're right : I had something like that in mind, but you find
the right words. To add information, I think I simply did not
intialize things as expected. Proceeeding differently helped me to
solve the issue.
Also note that ini-files have different names on different
platforms (boostraprc vs. bootstrap.ini).
Sorry, I forgot : only Linux is concerned : on Mac OS X, I keep the
Aqua look, same on Windows.
But Linux depends on Gnome or KDE, and this is too heavy to add
that : that's the reason why I searched -sort of- compromise look/perf
What you want to do should be something like the following
(untested, just hacked this in from memory!):
rtl::OUString aUserConfigFile(RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM
({$BRAND_BASE_DIR/program SAL_INIFILENAME(bootstrap)
:OOo4KidsIntegrationUserFile}));
rtl::Bootstrap::expand(aUserConfigFile);
Yes, that was the idea. In fact, was my fault (see the code I used
below).
I didn't find expand, but expandMacro instead ( who givers the
file:///... bla result )
if (aUserConfigFile.getLength() != 0)
osl::FileBase::getSystemPathFromFileURL(aUserConfigFile, aTryFiles
[0]);
Yes this test is better imho than the previous one I used.
Here is what I did (woks perfectly on Linux PowerPC, so on most of
the m IMHO :).
The trick was to get the bootstrap file first and then to instantiate
the Bootstrap, using it. Once that was working, I completed the rest
easely.
rtl::OUString aUserConfigFile;
rtl::OUString aDefaultConfigFile;
rtl::OUString aTryFiles[2];
rtl::OUString aIniPath;
// read the content of bootstraprc is necessary to find the path
to the user configuration file
// ~/.ooo4kids/0.6/user/OOo4Kidsrc.txt
Bootstrap::get( rtl::OUString( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM
( BRAND_BASE_DIR) ), aIniPath );
aIniPath += rtl::OUString( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM( /
program/ SAL_CONFIGFILE( bootstrap ) ) );
Bootstrap aBootstrap(aIniPath);
aBootstrap.getFrom( rtl::OUString( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM
(OOo4KidsIntegrationUserFile) ), aUserConfigFile );
if (aUserConfigFile.getLength() != 0)
osl::FileBase::getSystemPathFromFileURL( aUserConfigFile, aTryFiles
[0]);
// if OOo4Kidsrc.txt is not found in user install dir, fallback
to the second OOo4Kidsrc.txt (with default values), located in
install_dir/presets
aBootstrap.getFrom( rtl::OUString( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM
(OOo4KidsIntegrationDefaultFile) ), aDefaultConfigFile );
osl::FileBase::getSystemPathFromFileURL(aDefaultConfigFile,
aTryFiles[1]);
and similarly for the DefaultFile.
So did I :)
Thanks a lot for your help, that I really appreciated !!

[dev] Re: [project leads] On Modularization ...
Hi, Le 30 avr. 09 à 10:29, Kay Ramme a écrit : And this is what we want to do first: - Create a build helper, responsible for - getting the source, - getting prerequisites and pre-builds, - configuring the sources, taking care of dependencies ..., - and (optionally) building it. - Add missing/useful configuration switches (e.g. for headless support). - Re-factor according to needs (e.g. writer only etc.). This build helper may be compared to the Linux kernels menuconfig / xconfig, first configure it extensively, ideally in a graphical way, than build it. Glad to see the idea of menuconfig like I proposed several times (on IRC, discussing), and long time ago, has finaly found some echo ... :-) For the rest, I already thought on that for the 7-12 version of OOo for children I'm working on, but I think simplify the code in the sense you proposed before to improve performance, and fix bugs we have since stone age, or even know better how to load more efficiently all the libs, and so on is maybe not the best.

Re: [dev] More Build Problems
Hi Albert, Le 21 janv. 09 à 16:41, Albert Law a écrit : In your configure command line, I read you used the options : ./configure --disable-build-mozilla --disable-mozilla ... and so on. AFAIK, --disable-mozilla options means build without use mozilla zipped archives nor mozilla sources. Thus, libxmlsec will not be built, nor delivered of course. Now, If you need this lib and includes, maybe you modified the environment afterwards, or did something wrong in meantime ? (like configure with mozilla disabled and modify the environment variable or something like that .. ) Can you please tell us what your environment file does contain around MOZILLA (the one you source before the build, if I'm not too wrong with windows buld) On unix, we simply do : set | grep MOZILLA , and I hope it will work for you too, or try to read the WinNT... .sh file (sorry, I really never built on Windows) FYI, the problem stands in the hack OpenOffice.org does use with mozilla : xmlsec and libxmlsec use some little part of mozilla ( libnss exactly) to be built, but the dependancies are a bit complicated. To understand better, I'd suggest you to have a look at what is written in libxmlsec/makefile.mk or (quite the same topic) xmlsesecurity/util/makefile.mk about Mozilla ;) HTH Eric Bachard -- qɔᴉɹə

Re: [dev] moving psprint into vcl
Hi Philipp, Le 8 janv. 09 à 10:47, Philipp Lohmann a écrit : Hi all, for various reasons we (hdu and me in this case) would like to move the code now residing in psprint into vcl. That's a good idea. reasons to do so: - font subsetting code is in psprint and on many platforms linked statically into vcl anyway. - future CUPS versions will migrate from PostScript to PDF as their primary spool file format. moving psprint to vcl will make it easier to do this migration in OOo, too. - vcl is psprint's only customer anyway. - there is code duplication between psprint and vcl currently that can be removed after this changed. All are good reasons, and simplify cannot be bad. However this will mean there will be a CWS that will make this migration and changes to psprint in other CWS will be moot (see the discussion about svn not warning about committing to moved files). So consider yourself warned that we will announce a time at which no changes to psprint should be made until a certain CWS is integrated (not that there are that many people doing that anyway :-) ) Noticed :) At the same time we could do a little cleanup and first thing coming to mind is the MACOSX specific code which could be removed. That would however mean that the old MacOSX X11 port would not really work anymore (at least WRT to printing). So I want to ask: do we really continue to have the X11 Mac port in the 3.0 line ? Are there any compelling arguments for this ? AFAIK, nobody works on maintain X11 (not only printing) version on Mac, and nobody will complain. And to be honest, I think 2.4.3 (I still continue to believe maxleofix4x11 will be integrated a day) is the very last version to have X11 working, and I agree to no longer support it in 3.x line. So : +1 from me for your proposal Kind regards, Eric P.S. : any news for an ATSUI replacement ? IMHO, Apple should provide something soon, no ? -- qɔᴉɹə
Re: [dev] Patch for mozilla
Hi, This is a common answer : Mozilla 1.7.5 is obsolete, and its sources should *no longer* to be used for building OpenOffice.org. FYI, there is an effort in progress, to migrate from mozilla to seamonkey (1.1.13 currently). The cwsname is moz2seamonkey01: Frank Schonheit did the Windows part, Pierre Pasteau the Linux one, and me the Mac OS X one. I'll give a try on Solaris soon too. For lack of time reasons, this cws is not aligned with m38 (I've planned to resync it today or tomorrow), and waiting, you have two solutions : 1) not building Seamonkey (means use the existing zipped archives) For Windows, this is Frank area. I bet some Seamonkey zipped archives, are probably downloadable somewhere on the web, but I'm sorry, only Frank knows, and unfortunaly, frank is probably on vacancy at the moment. Worse, I have no clue where to find them :-/ Just in case you can find them, just use the --disable-build-mozilla option in your configure command line + use the patch I do provide for connectivity (else you'll have breakages) thus, the zipped archives will directly be used at buildtime. The only patch you need (else connectivity will break) is : http:// eric.bachard.free.fr/mac/aquavcl/patches/aqua_January_2009/5th_january/ Just ask me if ever you have problems. 2) building seamonkey (not trivial ) : You'll need to extract all moz2seamonkey changes in the existing cws, and adapt them to the milestone you are using, and follow all instructions Frank wrote below. To add you a maximum of information, I think the links above should help you : - Frank log about building the Seamonkey1.1.X sources : http:// wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Mozilla2Seamonkey/Problem_Log/Windows - The current status of the migration : http:// wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project/ Effort#Mozilla_1.7.5_-.3E_Seamonkey_1.1.x_migration_.28click_me.29 - Mozilla information : https://developer.mozilla.org/en/ Windows_Build_Prerequisites Hope this helps :-) Happy New Year to all of you !

Maybe the lib in the solver differs from the one in the current module (does deliver help ?) Seems to be the first sentence of the log, but I can be wrong. Other issues (the one Pierre Doyon triggered above e.g.) can be: duplicate includes, or bad order of the includes declaration, including some #undef , and generally causing big troubles.

Re: [dev] fixing warnings in binfilter?
Hi Stephan, Le 16 juin 08 à 13:47, Stephan Bergmann a écrit : We here loosely means the group of people inside Sun that started to get the warning-free thing going back then. :-) Ok, I had in mind some ESC meeting or something. In fact, searching in the archives, I found your -impressive- original mail (http:// www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=devmsgNo=14653 ) and for the record, I found it very interesting and I mentionned it on the Education Project wiki page ( http:// wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project/Effort#.5B. 5BEducation_Project.2FEffort.2FFixing_warning_.7C_Fixing_warnings_. 28click_me.29.5D.5D ) I remember having discussed the binfilter issue in some face-to- face setting, but do not remember any further details, and also did not find anything written down regarding this. My comment was not meant to imply an officiality, I just wanted to give background information. My question was just informative, nothing more. Mail is not the best sometimes, and without the context, the intention can easely be misunderstood. Sorry. Don't get me wrong; I don't :-) I do not say you must not change binfilter (how could I?). You are right to point us to not spend resources for useless work (e.g. for the one who will QA the changes), and from our side, we promise to be as efficient as possible, starting following kendy's advice, for example, but not only. With Rakesh, we have the enthousiasm, and you have the expertise :-) If you think it is a good idea, go ahead. Ok, and if you have other ideas, please don't hesitate to tell us. I think another important work we could start working on for Education Project is explain the bridges. I remember Daniel Boelzle wrote a great document explaining how works the proxy between UNO, Java and C++ APIs, and this could be an interesting theorical point about OpenOffice.org for beginners. The bad thing is I lost the document somewhere, but I'm confident I'll retrieve one copy soon. Of course, if you think this is a wrong idea, don't hesitate to tell me. Regards, Eric -- qɔᴉɹə

Re: [dev] Scanner dialog and screen aspect ratio: how to get info?
Hello, Le 17 mars 08 à 18:18, Carlo Scarfoglio a écrit : Hi all, I started with fixing a problem with my HP OfficeJet scanner Which Operating System ? and now I'm having a look at several issues that I found checking the code of the scanner dialog used in writer and draw. The functionality is there, but it looks like old, unmantained code. Not exactly. Just resources are missing to rewrite a brand new interface. FYI, all the relevant code is in extensions/source/scanner, and there is an effort to implement something more usefull on Mac OS X. There is a Doxygen generated documentation available here : http:// eric.bachard.free.fr/Education/Documentation/AquaScanner/html/ For further information, please look at : http:// wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project/Effort More precisely here : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ Education_Project/Effort#Improve_Scanner_Use_.28click_me.29 IMPORTANT: my mailer adds extra spaces in the URL, please take care. Bugs fixed so far: 1) The dialog offered two resolution selections for the OfficeJet: 75 and 1200 DPI, the minimum and maximum. The OfficeJet can scan at any DPI value between 75 and 1200, but the edit box was not editable. I inserted some additional DPI values in the listbox and made the edit box editable. This should work for any scanner that can scan at any DPI value between min and max. 2) Tested with a Canon Lide scanner, the listbox offered several DPI values, but again only the min and max values were selectable, The code wrongly set the min and max listbox range: the min DPI value as max and viceversa. This happened because the Lide can scan at fixed DPI values, but the driver returns the values in the opposite order to what the code expected it to be. The resolution edit box is not editable. ... I reworked the user interface. The changes so far. 3) Moved controls around to make the dialog more compact. 4) Added a listbox to choose the scan mode (Color, Grey and Lineart) directly, without accessing the advanced options treebox. Several mouse clicks saved. And 5) removed the Advanced options checkbox. The treebox is always in advanced mode. 6) Increased the size of the preview rectangle. The preview rectangle poses a problem. The X and Y sizes are constants set in the .hrc file Exact. This is awfull and there is work in progress for a new layouting. . I can turn them into variables, and set them at runtime according to the width and height of the scan area (the OfficeJet has 220x381 mm, the Lide 215x300 mm, for instance) and within the bounds of the dialog box. Are you sure all scanners have the same values ? ;-) But the preview image is always vertically squashed because the screen aspect ratio is not taken into account. Aspect ratio is usually 1,25 (for 1280x1024) or 1,33 (for 1024z768), but new LCD screens can have other ratios. Looks like a layout side effect. Needs to be discussed. I couldn't find a way to determine this ratio. There are private variables in the Window class that (my guess) should hold these values. I think that some functions, such as PixelToLogic, etc should provide help, but I couldn't find any documentation. I'm interested to see the changes you did. Do you have patches ? Can anybody provide help or a hint? Yes, sure, but I'd like to understand what you exactly did first. AFAIK, there is a TWAIN Handler on Windows, or a SANE one on Mac OS X, and the values should be correct without modify what you described. If anybody with a build system and a working scanner is keen to test the beast, I will send another email witih the relevant files attached. You're welcome !
